This wasn't a one year show, it must have went on for around a dozen, to have the Mustangs and the Maverick, which wasn't available until late 1969. Before the Mustang they did the show with Falcons, Fairlanes, etc.
Programs are on Ebay for as early as 1959, and as late as 1970
Look at how close he was to killing 3 kids. That'd be a long time in prison for vehicular manslaughter. Wonder of this is what Swift drivers do when not in their semi?
The car was discovered last year in Baja California Sur by Hugo Sanchez, rotting away no drivetrain. Legend had it that the film's primary stunt car had been sent to the junkyard shortly after filming was complete.
Sanchez brought it to a Mexicali custom car shop owned by his friend, Ralph Garcia, Jr., to have it turned into a clone of the similarly-famous “Eleanor” Mustang from the film “Gone in 60 Seconds,” but first sent for a Marti report.
Marti is certain that the VIN plate is original, and he also cross-checked the dates stamped onto the car’s original body panels, some of which were beyond easy repair and had been removed. A few of the modifications made to the car for filming have been preserved, including strut tower reinforcements and holes drilled into the trunk for auxiliary power cables.
A frenzy for all things “Bullitt” should be in full swing by next year, the 50th anniversary of the film’s debut.

Here's some of the things they did to make it a winning drag racer: • Every other impeller blade was removed from the water pump and a larger pulley installed. • A larger pulley was also installed on the alternator. • The right rear spring hanger was made longer than the left. • Each leaf spring was tied every 4 inches ahead of the rear axle. • The car’s right side wheelbase was made 1 1/2 inches longer than the left side to enhance deep staging.

I may be wrong, but it looks look a welder with Oxy/Acetylene tanks, a floor jack, one pit crew member with an air impact wrench, and 3 guys loading fuel into the trunk gas cap filler.
I think it's a classy look to have the fuel barrels in the car colors too.
This was at Lime Rock according to the gallery of photos it's mixed in with
